What this W C. T. I*. Aims to do ?
The aiui of this society is to convince poo
pie that they cau bo free, nud as wo consider
the power of the press boundless, \vi
have devoted touch time to bo.h daily uud
weekly papers secular and religious.
We believe this subject to be of paramount
importance. If the question of tlu
near futro is to be temperance or iutcniperaooe,
then let the daily" papers discuss i<
us they would any other topio of vital itn
porta nee. Our aim is to convince the pub
lie that it is of vital importance.
We do not mean merely reforming drunk
ards. as is often supposed, but, we do moan
reforming those who are so constituted that
they fee! quite safe if their owe families
arc temperate. Wo endeavor to impress
upon all, that as patriots aud Christiani we
must arouse to the evils about us, if from
no higher motive than that of self preset va
tiou. A protuiuciit lawyer said to ute
recently, 4-Ouc reason so many cases arc
doci oil in favor of the liquor sellers is that
whenever a case on their side is to he
brought up, the court room is thronged
with their friends and the very support they
arc receiving on every hand inlluenco those
who arc to give their decision. The public
support for or against the cause has always
been felt, hcuce we are aiming to make
temperance people more pronounced, more
fearless, so that a man takiug his stand ou
the teuiperaucc question may kuow that he
will be supported at least bv the nrn?nnpn
of the friends of tlio cause.
We are aiuing mare aud nnro to form
public opinion. That we have also been
successful here is apparent in many quarters.
A ffisc general never reveals his
strong points until the battle is over, and if
the onlookers, seeing only his .vcuk points
bogiu to censure him ho still works on
carrying out his plau, which is known only
wheu the victorious banner floats from
many a citadel. There are poiuts in our work
which will be kuown ouly by the results.?
There is earnest prayer and earnest work
The time for aggressive action on tho
part of those in public life has arrived.?
The day for hall way measures, if it ever
existed, is a thing of the past; there is a
power that will bo felt more and moro iu
the years to come. The quiet unseen power
behind the throne has ever been the
most potent, therefore if the \V. (J, T. U.
does not come to the frout on public occasions,
none the less is it. sowing beside all
Waters.
We arc aiming to make people more intelligent
regarding this matter. It has
been said there is no subject upon which
so much has been said, and so little information
given, as upon the subject of temperance.
Addresses are made and the am
dionces are convulscdlwith laughter or moved
to tears, and go away thinking souicthihg
ought to be done in this matter, but they
arc not told what to do, and the matter is
soon forgotten. They are told that liquor
destroys mind and body and soul, but as
that was a self-evident truth of which they
had d; ily illustrations, they were not in the
least interested in that. Now wo aim to
show how it destroys mind, body and soul,
how liquor cats up the brain, stomach and
?God only can tell how it acts upon the
soul.
*
We arc resolved that (lie next generation
shall know more regarding this evil, its
organ, the effects of diflfercut kinds of liquors
that they shall bo so well informed that
when they reach manhood they will he able
and willing to assert themselves, and not
1 i:? .? <
ouiiiu nun ulusuu ?{??, inrougu ignorance
or lor fear of giving offense to someone who
has a vote. It is said lliat^a law of 1'y thagoras
ptonouoced every free man infamous,
who, in questions of public interest, did not
take sides. Let public opinou become such
that no man can hereafter hi neutral on
this subject; lie must array himself on the
hide of temperance or intemperance. 11
this generation can not tell ichor they stand
we intend to so instruct the next that the}
will know.
Ours is a work of prevention. Many
time-honored workers in this cause have
found that the energy spent in reformation
will tell infinitely more in saving the young
^fchiyler recently said, "The p st of my
^^^^Wlias been largely spent in the work of
reformation ; (iod helping 111.1, the future
hhall bo spent in the work of prevention."
All classes aid us in this work either consciously
or unconsciously. The most staunch
defender of his right to sell liquor, is s irry
indeed to sec his boy drinking day by day
and so throws no obstacle in our way ol
saving the children.?Mrs. /5. 11. Drown

Sir Junius Minerson Tenncnt gives reasons for
believing that the tree is really of this wonder,

which il is mentioned at different dates, as 18i

Society Hill, May 19.?Your regular cor
respondent being absent from tho State and
; just returning UnJs full intelligence oi the
recent mu:dcr bore has not beeu given to
the p iblie.; in fact, so tame an nceouut is
giveu it looks as if suppression of facts was
I purposely uiade. After a very thorough investigation
it appears Dcnuis Seott, a colored
itinerant musician and barber, oceu*
( pied a shop attached to or near by the drinking
saloon of \YiIson & Cannon, agents ?
^ Scott used this shop ns a barber shop and
to sleep in, and was slecftini? thorn on
Thursday night. May 3. About 11 o'clock
that uight cries of ''Murder," nnd then
heavy blows, were heard by people who livo
near the shop, and afterwards by other per1
s .ns who live farther off on the street leadi
in<? to the Pce-Deo River. Scott called
1
! loudly for help, and said Aaron Evans was
killing him. (This dii uot come out at
the iuqucst, but seems nevertheless to be
true.) Tracks of two persons wearing
shoes were found leading across the fields
towards the creek where Scott's body was
found. Scott had no shoes on ; his shoes
were found in his shop. All this, together
with the opinion ol the surgeon who uiade
the post mortem examination, leaves no
doubt but there was a most terrible murder
committed right in our midst aud the body
carried a mile off and thrown into a creek
leading iuto the Pee Deo River. Some of
tiie porsous who heard the crise informed
the officers, or the intcudant rather, next
day, but no search was made and no effort,
made to ascertain the cause of the alarm,
and it was ten days after the body was
accidentally found. Where were the police
the uight this horrid murder was being
c unmittcd ? Answer: "Out of town."
I -Not a watchman or police officer within a
. : mile, and this, too, after a warning given
; by your correspondent only a few days be'
fore, when reporting the stubbing affray at
the same saloon. And why such a tame
account of "J ?" I will let on the light.
This town of forty-five voters is run entirely
in the liquor interest, aud it is the policy
to tame down and suppress *11 information
likely to call special attoution to the liquor
traffic and its effects on the peace aud good
order of the place.
The 'down" is lauded highly for its
| peacefulncrs and its prosperity. It has
I neither the one or the other. Fights are
! frequent, and the most horrid disorder provails
cWJry Saturday. Three terrible fights
occurred between two white meu at one
I saloon 1 st Saturday?they had throe dis?
, tinct affrays. Xo arrests were urade, and
' on Monday following a nominal fiue ol 82
j was placed on each man.
The iutendaut is proprietor of one saloon
' and two wardens run the other. One other
wardcu is nu ex liquor dealer, and the only
disinterested member of the hoard is on it
against his own wish, and lives in the
outskirts of the town end does not have so
much contact with the disorder often prevailing.
The death of Scott is traced direct
j to whiskey, aud follows closely on the stabbing
affray reported a few weeks ago, and
ii a sequel to that affair.
Jay Gould to IIetike?Mr. Jay Gould
has declared to his near friends his intention
to retire from his active businesslife on
me completion oi his projected lour around
tbe world. Ilis son, Mr. George J. Gould,
a young man cftwcijty-tlr.ee, is to take liis
p'.acc as a speculator, and Mr. Gould himself
will lead a private life. Mr. Gould's
I fortune is carefully estimated in round numbers
to be ?100,000,000, of which ?20,000,*
000 is in the stock of the Western Union
* Telegraph Company and 20,000,000 in the
stock of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Comi
pany. In real estate lie has never put much
money, considering the size of his fortune.
, liis investment in this kind of property
. altogether amount to about 85,000.000.?
i The remainder of his wealth is in securities,
| mainly in the shape of the bonds of the
| different railroad companies. Hut one large
[' deal, in speculative parlance, remains to he
1 com mum:, led previous to his retirement, and
r that is, from the account given, the proposed
alliance between liis Southwestern system
of railroad and the Kast Tennessee, Virginia,
and Gcorgsa system and other tributary
roads. The ''boys," as Cornelius and
William K. Vaudorbiii aro called, have

Youtiifui. Suicides.?Recently a writer,
making sonic general observations up in
French affairs, remarked upon the number
J, of children, of the ago of twelve and under,
Oiat annually commit suicide in Paris The
' writer speculated upon the motive that
could have induced the little unfortunates
t to commit the act. Put youthful suicides

Shame and fear have sometimes been the
, motives, mingled, perhaps, with feelings of
1 indignation. Thus children, and particularly
boys, who had received or expected
to receive severe corporal punishment, are
, frequently found to exhibit littlo or no hesii
tution in compassiug th lir own death. We

Raising Haiu.?It was ouo of the bylaws
of the Heartache's Iloavouly hair Ilaisor
that it ho used liberally before retiring, rubbinj;
it in to the scalp. Just befofc he went to
bed that night, the uiau bolted the back
door, put the cat ia the Avood slied, cauic in
whistling the "Fatiuitza" waltz, dauced up
to the clock shelf, and, pouriugout what lie
supposed to bo his hair fertilizer, he mopped
it all over bis scalp, and stirred it wcl|
in around yho roots oi the little.-hedge of
hair at the back of his neck. T"
Tlio gluo bottle, by an earthly ?oincidcnco,
was nearly the saute shape and size as tlio
hair sap bottle. He went to bed.
"George," said his wife, turning her face
to the wall, "that stuff you're putting on
your hair suiclls like a pan cf soap grease."
"Perhaps I had better go up stuirs and
sleep." snarled George. "You're mighty
sensitive ! You wouldn't expect that a
man can put stuff on his head tlut will
make his hair grow, and havo it smell like
essence of wiutcrgreen, would you ?"
They went to sleep mad as Turks.
This particular, bald-headed man. likn n
good many other bald-headed inon, had to
get up and build tho liros. When.he arose
ucxt morning the sun peeped in at the
window, aud saw the pillow cling to tho
back of his head like a great whilcJbltignon.
At first he did not realize his condition >
he thought it must have caught on a pin
or shirt button. It looked ridiculous, and
lie would throw it back on the bed beforo
his wife saw it, so he caught it quickly by
one end and "yanked," i
"Oh! Oh !" ho screamed, "what's bcea
going 011 here? Thunder an' lightnin'! ''
aud he began to claw at his scalp like a
lunatic. His wife sprang up from the
couch and began to sob hysterically.
"Oh, don't George ! What is it ?
What's the matter?"
George was dancing about the room, the
pillow now daugling by a few hairs, his
scalp covered with something that looked
like sheet copper, while the air was redolent
of warlike explosives, as if a dictioy iry had
exploded. With a woman's ius.inct the
poor wife took in the situ tion at a glance, ,
and exclaimed :
"It is glue !" i
The bald-headed uian sat down in a chair
i
and looked at her a moment in coiitcmptu.
ous silence, and then uttered the ouo expressive
word :
"Glue !" 1
Now began a series ot processes and
experiments unheard of in the annals of 1
chemistry. 1
"Jane, you must soak it off with warm
water. I 've pot to po to Utica to-day."
"1 can't, Georpe," she replied in a guilty
tone, "it's waterproof."
"Yes, 1 might have ktiowu it ; and I sup
pose it's fire proof, too, ain't it ?',
lie scratched over the smooth plating
with his finger nails.
"It's hard as iron," he said.
"Yes?ho said it was good glue !'* repeated
she, innoceutly. "Can't y iu skin it
off with ^bur razor, George ?"
"Don't trifle with too, Jane. Get me
that coarse file in the woodshed."
It may be imagined what followed, and
now as the bald headed man sits in the office
he never removes his hat, for his entire
skull i~ a howling waste of blistered desert,
relieved here and thero by oases of bluek
Court plaster.

SiiEiMiKUD Uoas.?Our readers have
doubtless siuco childhood heard of the
Scotch shepherd dogs aud their wonderful
sagacity, (almost amouuting to reason) but
iew ol them, probably, are aware that these
dogs havo been introduced aud art now
being used in their favorite work of kecpiug
sheep within a hundred miles of this place.
Mr. Walter T. McArtbur, of Monlgouiory
county, who is probably one of the largest
sheep owners in Goorgia, has for several years
had two of theso dogs, which, during that
period, have served him well aud faithfully
in the care of his flocks. They arc so very
intelligent that at any time they can be
trusted to cither watch their charge or to
drive thcui to or from pasture, uo matter
what may be the distance or nature of the
way, a command from their master bring
all that is ucccssary to sacurc prompt obedience.
The sheep composing Mr. McArtbur's
flocks were purchased from several
different persons, and each particular lot
unlurully remain together and rather separated
from the others, each of theso bunches
being designated by the uamo of the party
from whom they were purchased. Thoso
dogs can, at any time, be sent far into the
woods for a spcciGed bunch, it only being
noccssary to give its name, thus : "The
McClcud st^pp," or *'tho Nash sheep,"
and a failure on their part to bring tho
missing, is reckoned among the phenomenal
occurrences. As a matter of course, these
dogs are of immense service to their owucr,
and the gentleman who gave us theso facts
says ho doesu't believe that 81,000 each
would buy them. So strong is tho instinct
in these dogs to watch and keep together
all animals of a kind, that three puppies of
tho above mentioned dogs Gild their chief
enjoyment in driving all the poultry of the
yard into some clear space an 1 keeping
them for hours, rogaidloss of the fact that
not one particle of food cm there be obtained
by the imprisoned fowls. O.i this
account it Is uccossary to keop theso enterprising
pups shut up.
These facts were given us by a gentleman
of this city of undoubted veracity, who
affirms that hj has oflon sccu these intelligent
brutes go though tho performance
